Biography
Murray was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1886.[2][3] He received his education at Christ's College.[4] All Black Toby Murray was his cousin.[5] After school, he went to the local architect Frederick John Barlow as an apprentice.[4]
Murray was the New Zealand champion hurdler from 1906 to 1910 over 440 yards.[5] He competed for Australasia in the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, England.[2] He competed in two athletic events. In the 110 metres hurdles he was second in the heat (16.3). In the 400 metres hurdles he was second in the heat (59.8).[2] As the heats were held as sudden death events, he did not qualify. He is listed as New Zealand Olympian number 2 by the New Zealand Olympic Committee.[6]
He married Ismene Nola Simms on 5 April 1916 in Brisbane. She was the daughter of H. G. Simms from London who had lately lived in Christchurch.[7] From later that year, Murray served with the 11th Field Company of the Royal Australian Engineers in WWI. In 1917, he won a Military Cross for bravery.[4] The citation reads:[8][9]
As an architect, Murray undertook many commissions for the Catholic Church. His best-known work in the Church of the Holy Name in Ashburton, which is registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category I historic structure.[4] The two other buildings designed by him that are registered by Heritage New Zealand, both as Category II, are the Scottish Hall in Invercargill and the Rangiora Town Hall.[10][11] Another notable structure that he designed is the Akaroa War Memorial.[6][12]
Murray was a flying officer in the Royal New Zealand Air Force during WWII. On Saturday, 10 April 1943, he was in a jeep that skidded on loose gravel near Whangarei Harbour and overturned. He died from his injuries early the following Monday morning, aged 57.[5][13][14] Murray's funeral was held at St Mary's Catholic Church in Central Christchurch and he was buried at Ruru Lawn Cemetery in Bromley.[15]
